So Now You Get Mad

So Now You Get Mad . . .
This is a repost of an email forward making the rounds.

We had eight years of  Bush and Cheney, but now you get mad!

You didn’t get mad when the Supreme Court stopped a legal recount and appointed a President.

You didn’t get mad when Cheney allowed Energy company officials to dictate energy policy.

You didn’t get mad when a covert CIA operative had her cover blown simply for contradicting Dick Cheney.

You didn’t get mad when the Patriot Act got passed.

You didn’t get mad when we illegally invaded a country that posed no threat to us.

You didn’t get mad when we spent over 600 billion (and counting) on said illegal war.

You didn’t get mad when over 10 billion dollars just disappeared in Iraq .

You didn’t get mad when you found out we were torturing people.

You didn’t get mad when the government was illegally wiretapping Americans.

You didn’t get mad when we didn’t catch Bin Laden.

You didn’t get mad when you saw the horrible conditions at Walter Reed.

You didn’t get mad when we let a major US city drown.

You didn’t get mad when we gave a 900 billion tax break to the rich.

You didn’t get mad when, using reconciliation; a trillion dollars of our tax dollars were redirected to insurance companies for Medicare Advantage which cost over 20 percent more for basically the same services that Medicare provides.

You didn’t get mad when the deficit hit the trillion dollar mark, and our debt hit the thirteen trillion dollar mark.

You finally got mad when the government decided that people in America deserved the right to see a doctor if they are sick.

Yes, illegal wars, lies, corruption, torture, stealing your tax dollars to make the rich richer, are all okay with you, but helping other Americans… oh hell no.

AND NOW YOU’RE MAD !

Now, we are all led to believe that the Teabaggers are simply small government libertarian folk who oppose wasteful spending, want low taxes and want the governments off our backs. However, the litany of transgressions these supposed small government libertarian folk did not oppose exposed that as a lie. The teabaggers are angry for the one of three reasons (and it may be a combination of two or all of the above): 1) A Republican is not President; 2) A Democrat is President; 3) A black man is President.

Want health insurance? Get a job! Don't expect those of us who work to keep paying for your medical care.

The Tea Party has always existed in those who stand for limited government, lower taxes, free markets, constitutional values, fiscal responsibility, and the restoration of honor. Sure, it's not always been in the news, but just because you haven't seen a trillion dollars with your own eyes doesn't mean it doesn't exist. We "teabaggers", as you call us, have been angry with any leader(s) who has violated the bounds of common sense and our NC and US Constitutions.

Of course, you can play like you know our motives. Any coward can spit-ball from a distance. If you got to know us, you would find that you have been sold a bill of goods that's worth flushing down the toilet along with all the other lies told by the mainstream media.
